Opposite leaves on shrubs and twining vines; tubular, often strongly fragrant flowers open mostly toward evening to attract moth pollinators, ripening into a berry.
Many species release their strongest fragrance only after dusk, timed precisely to when night-flying moths are most active — a floral scent clock rather than a constant perfume.
